The First Siege was a temporary group of players dedicated to the griefing of spawn over the course of several weeks throughout the summer of 2019. Initially known simply as "The Siege", it became retroactively known as The First Siege, following the start of The Second Siege.

History

The Siege was started on June 16, 2019 by Korijenkins and TheOnlySlash. The official founding of the group occurred at Castle Snowfrog later that day, with Korijenkins, TheOnlySlash, HedgehogMind, Tenced, The_Arma, and AtacFauxpas as the founding members.

Over the next few days more players began to join The Siege after seeing the results a few hours of work had on spawn.

On June 19th, Doublard was brutally murdered by TheOnlySlash just outside of spawn as he attempted to disrupt the work of the Siege Royal Air Force.

After Korijenkins was made the leader of the Siege by TheOnlySlash, siege activities declined, and upon hearing that Siege plans were being leaked by an insider, Kori deleted the siege discord and immediately disbanded the group. Some frustrated members continue the siege's work in a disjointed and disorganised manner, but most had lost interest by this point and were focusing their efforts elsewhere

Goals

The Siege does not hate new players, nor do the members believe there is a particular problem with server population. The goals of The Siege are to make escaping spawn more difficult, to weed out the weakest players and ensure the quality of the server population remains high. Utilizing lavacasts and TNT bombers, The Siege intends to heavily grief anything within two thousand blocks of spawn.

Enemies

When the YMP Crusade learned of TheOnlySlash's plan to grief spawn, they made one of their goals to sabotage their effort because it would also make their plan to enslave new players harder. Other enemies include Doublard, Azdin, and DakkaDok. There is a possibility of Talksalot011 being added to the list since he edited the page to add the fact that Korijenkins actually removed a YMP lava cast which angered Korijenkins.
Members of The Siege generally believe the YMP Crusade to be a movement created to counter their own, Lord1 denies this, claiming that the YMP Crusade was originally created a week before.
